No one cares about this, no one misses channel 4, no one misses dirty dining, no one misses WTMZ news. Funny how Wexler makes Sykes talk about it, the JS editors make Dudek talk about it and 99.999% of everyone else DOESN'T CARE.

Not only do few care, what are we really missing? NBC is a biased news outlet that will go to great lengths to lie and distort the truth (case in point: George Zimmerman 911 call). Now, if the morning crew on FOX 6 would learn professionalism and stop drinking Mountain Dew in the morning there may be good local news coverage.

You mean to tell me CNN, ABC and CBS have not overplayed the George Zimmerman 911 call as well? No doubt political commentary channels MSNBC and Faux "news" are overplaying it from the Trevon Martin and George Zimmerman perspectives respectively. Sorry, but for every conservative who claims CBS, NBC and ABC are biased (to the left) networks, there is a liberal who'll say, "yes, those networks do run biased news at 5:30 p.m.. Their broadcasts are biased to the right."

WTMJ's "Morning Blend" is a blend of commentary and paid advertising. WITI's "Real Milwaukee" program in the same time slot is a program which cannot figure out what it is supposed to be. As for "Fox 6 Wake Up," how much news can you really do from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. without having to keep repeating things. TV news staffs, like their print counterparts have experienced cutbacks over the past five years. Fewer newsroom reporters means less local news coverage be it electronic or in print.

How many actually watch from 5-9? They repeat things because a vast majority of their viewers tune in for a few minutes as they are getting ready for work. If anyone is watching news from 5-9 every morning they have way too much time on their hands.

I thought the cable guys were required to carry local broadcast having been granted monopoly (duopoly in this case) status for free. I'm sorry. That was a flashback when I lived in a state with competition and choice for utilities.

I don't understand why anyone stays with TWC these days. All they are about is crappy customer service, crappy reception, and greed. I wish their customers would leave them en masse - and go to a satellite provider like Directv that has excellent customer service and lower fees. TWC thinks they have a corner on the market and are being bullies.
